Next weekend (16th, 17th) my girlfriend and I will be coming to cleveland after the Luke Bryan concert in Toledo. We'll be there all day Saturday, Sunday and a bit of Monday. What are some cool things we can do in Cleveland? We'll be staying downtown. I'm pretty keen on going to the Tequila Ranch on Saturday night, but that's about all I've got.

We'd like to do some shopping. We love animals. I'm a hunter so I'd be into checking out a local gun range. Also, we both love food. We definitely need food suggestions.

Thanks!

EDIT Important question here: Is there any place in Cleveland that has really good pulled pork? We're Canadian, and our restaurants have pretty crappy pulled pork.

Food: definitely try Lola on East 4th or Lolita in Tremont (depending on your budget), there's a bunch of other good stuff on east 4th as well, and plenty on w. 25th and in Tremont. There's Italian in little Italy and lots of great places to drink. Lots of brewpubs (definitely check out great Lakes if you like beer). Depends on what you're looking for.
What do you like to do? Definitely check out the art museum if you like art. We have a world class orchestra as well. Lots of musical performance of all kinds around town. There are nice parks as well, but the weather isn't ideal for that right now. We have a good theater district and lots of smaller theater companies as well.

If you are staying downtown, eat on east 4th. Anywhere but Zocalo will be fine (check yelp for specifics), but Lola and Greenhouse tavern are the two best. You can also drink in that area at night, and see who is playing at the House of Blues or Hilarities. East 4th is small, but there are a bunch of bars on the street.

If you like clubs, west 6th street is within walking distance.

Ohio City is right over the bridge and has a couple of great places to eat (Crop, Flying Fig, SoHo, Bar Cento, others), and bars up and down the street. There is a great beer selection, including some great local craft breweries.

If you are looking for culture, the museum of art, botanical gardens, and orchestra are in university circle, a short ride east from downtown. The theater district is in between.

If you are into basketball and there is a game, you should be able to pick up Cavs tickets pretty cheap. The team kinda sucks, but Kyrie Irving is really fun to watch.

I am not sure about gun ranges, but I am sure google will have answers.

If you like animals check out the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Rain Forest, the rainforest is indoors so the cold isn't a problem, make sure to bundle up if checking out the zoo. I wouldn't really suggest the aquarium, kinda pricey and nothing really extraordinary.

W25th has some great bars and restraunts and if close to downtown, and its right by the famous West Side Market.

Playhouse Square always has a ton of shows and you can sometimes get cheap $10 nosebleed "smartseats" to a lot of the shows.
